    "*My Butt issssss...SO Hairy*" - 😂 at least that part of your body will stay warm 😂

    I've definitely noticed the change in behaviour, in the sense that before, you seemed more anxious, and now you just look so much more at peace. Maybe that has to do with transition or maybe with just growing up, or both, but in any case I'm glad to see you happier, more confident, and wanting the most out of life.
    I wish you luck on all your endeavors ❤

    Everyone should get therapy. Everyone needs it. No one is perfectly happy. But therapy isn't just for people that aren't happy. Therapy helps you understand your mind and feelings, and that can make your life so much better! I'm so happy for you, you look awesome! 👏

      lara * _Nope nope_ *NOopEEe* If it wasn't for transitioning purposes I wouldn't ever come close to a therapist again. Never helped me, just made things much much worse. But that's just me personally.

      Not everyone needs therapy, and not everyone like therapy, there are different ways to do things emotionally other than "therapy" I personal hate therapy because it does not help me, I help myself like some others out there.

    This all sounded sooo familiar to me.
    It's interesting that you mention your "lumpy" chest because I have exactly the same problem/feeling (also peri-areolar). Since my areolas are still too big anyway, I'm planning on having a revision and hope to then get rid of those "roundy" shapes on my chest, too.

  • @rudylynn660

    Your hairline doesn’t look like it’s receding. It looks like a mature male hairline. I got mine around 20 and it’s been the same for the last 6 years.

    What’s crazy is I watched this in 7th grade thinking I’d never get close to where he is but now I’m almost a year on t and surgery in planning and I’ll continue to watch this man. Because he taught me everything. Thank you

  • @OpheliaVert
    @OpheliaVert 7 лет назад +1

    OH MY GOODNESS. I just pulled myself through the darkest mental health time and I am also worrying about death and eternity and infinity when previously I had such a different relationship with it. I'm pleased you're feeling happy, good luck, we're always here.

  • @sarahbirman8495

    the comment about death. . .yeah I get that. I went through some tough times and now I realise i'm scared of dying when I used to wish I could sleep and never wake up. Like, i'm so glad you've reached the point when you can say that you want to live now, because it took me a while to realise this too. and I guess this reminded me that i'm here to live, not just exist. thanks

    I had a double mastectomy 45 years ago and I still have numb spots. I think it just comes with the territory. Don't let it bother you too much, that's the way it will probably be the rest of your life. I don't mean to upset you, but, you might as well know now, right? Love you Alex!!!

    Your hairline has a "male distribution" now (thats what we call it in the physical exam), which is shaped like an M. I dont think it has to do with going bald, dont worry

    Alex. I've been following you ever since you were 15 years old. You are the RUclipsr that made me realize that I was trans. And you've been my inspiration ever since. If there was a person who I didn't know that I had to pick to be happy for the rest of there lives it would be you man. I'm so glad your happy. Your still my inspiration. Honestly I want to look exactly like you, your beard is fucking awesome and that jawline man. I just started hormones like a month and a half ago, wish me luck Alex! Wish me luck guys. BTW I really want to meet you so hopefully that will happen soon!

      i started watching him when he was 15 and then i kinda forgot about him then i saw one of his old videos and thought "huh, i wonder what he looks like now." so i clicked on the video, went to his channel, went to his videos and i was like "OMG. MY LIL BEAN IS A GROWN UP BEAN"

  • @madhatter8772
    @madhatter8772 7 лет назад

    its beautiful to see how far you have come, how much you have changed, your so much happier!! and thats what motivates me to keep going, i really look up to you and can sort of relate to things you say? i am so far from getting top surgery and going on t but i know its going to happen, you remind me of that each time you upload a video, it makes my day so much better. One day i can actually go outside and be so much more confident!! since i have ptsd its hard to talk to people. i tend to isolate myself, but you. your an inspiration. seeing your journey encourages me every day. Even on days i just never want to move or get up. thank you!! i love you so so much!! have a amazing day or night hun! just know that every one of your fans admire you for being you. and we all hella fucking love ya :D

    @tylerhale5837 7 лет назад

    So proud of you bud. You make this sound a lot less awkward than it usually is, and it's helpful to a lot of people. You inspire people, and I'm sure we're all happy for you. I love how you joke about things, and it makes it easier to think about. It's great that you're happy about your body now, and are comfortable with it. I wish everyone who watches your videos someday become happy with themselves.

    @yukiraven5639 7 лет назад

    Wish you luck bro. To be honest, you look pretty good, and even though you are maybe not feeling completely okay (like mentally), I can see, that it is better than it was a year ago. And I'm really happy for that. You deserve to be happy and not just because what you've already came through. You are good person and you should treasure yourself, because in this world there is a shortage of people like you. You've helped a lot of us trust me.
    Thank you

  • @Frouza21
    @Frouza21 7 лет назад

    Just want to thank you for your words about your fear of death at 5:48. It reaches me.
    Now I can't stop thinking that maybe... maybe I'm slacking living because I don't enjoy where I am atm or who I am. Its so obvious, I know, like, everyone talk about it. But I just realised with my own heart that at the moment when I will get this hunger for living - it will be a sigh of me being at MY place, living MY life.
    Thank you.

    A little advise for your acne: I take zinc tablets, they're super cheap and I notice a HUGE difference when I'm using them, it can take about a week of taking them (you take one every day but they're only little) before they start to kick in but after that they are super helpful and there's no side effects. Also I put sudocrem on my spots every night and I have no idea what it does but it makes them go down LOADS. I hope that helps 😁❤️

    • @KC-zy5jy

      Emma Young zinc helps support the immune system and a strong immune system brings down inflammation and increases disease fighting and helps eliminate pathogens. It also can help with hormone regulation slightly

    • 1 cup of oil (any essential oil)

    I had the same top surgery done and I also had crazy sensitive sensation on one side which returned much faster than the other side. It levelled out eventually after about a year and the same thing happened to the other side with increased sensitivity and then the sensation mellowed out evenly to more or less normal.
    Regarding the acne - I found that cutting milk products out of my diet helped tremendously (e.g. whey protein, latte, milkshakes, ice cream, etc.). I still have it as a treat now and then so it's not the end of the world but your mileage may vary.

    I really related to what you said about death. For pretty much as long as I can remember I've been, at the most, indifferent about life. Recently, I've become more hopeful about the future. At the same time I also became terrified of death, which is something I have never experienced before. It felt like these feeling came out of nowhere and I didn't really know how to handle it. It was nice hearing that someone else feels the same way!

    Alex don't worry to much about spots when i first started T i had terrible acne and after i hit the two year mark on Nebido its really settled down when i went through my first puberty i also had terrible acne that needed long term treatment - bearing in mind im 34 so it might have settled down quicker for me than it will you but it does settle down I promise.

Well I got His father's hair. On top, bald except for a thin, thin growth of hair, almost imperceptible. Well, so be it.Don't worry, I hear worrying may make you lose hair. ha ha. Love you, kiddo.
